Trail mix, (also known as stroggin) is one of those must-take items when you go hiking, trail running, camping, or simply just want a snack. The great thing about trail mix is that you can add anything to it. Don’t like peanuts, don’t add them. Not into sultana’s, sub it with another dried fruit. I …
Who doesn’t love the humble chip? Baked chips are a regular feature in our house. Chips however don’t have to be boring. It’s actually really easy to spice them up and add some flavour and crunch. Next time you are going to put some chips in the oven, try these polenta-crusted chips instead. You won’t …
Oven Dahl Not long after making my Slow Cooker Dahl, I accidentally broke the lid of my slower cooker rendering it useless. The original recipe also served 10-12 people. That’s a lot of servings or a lot of leftovers. This is why I modified the recipe for a crockpot in the oven. This oven variation …
I’m no stranger to making my own fuel for long runs. These Chia Energy Gels, are great in summer, but as the days get colder, my taste buds change.

Usually, I have my pear granola with yoghurt. I’ve also been thoroughly enjoying almond pear porridge. One day, I decided to make pancakes …
Pears are such an underrated fruit. If you are like me and can no longer have apples, pears are a great alternative. With so many different varieties you will find one that you will love. D’Anjou has to be one of my all-time favourites, with a beautiful lush rose colour it’s full of flavour and …
We all have one, a go-to breakfast, that we can eat over and over again, and never get sick of it. During the summer months, I love a good smoothie bowl. When time is not on my side, I make up my breakfast bowl before work (I start at 6 am), to then have on …
The other day I caved and had a slice of white bread toasted with peanut butter. Oh-Mi-Gawd! It was so good. I try not to stress it, but sometimes it just happens. I control it as best as I can and make sure I’m well hydrated and have high-quality snacks on hand, but there are …
